Q: Will NTSC dvds play on my PAL dvd player or computer?
A: I am looking to buy some NTSC dvds online from overseas. I am from Australia and I have a PAL dvd player. Will the NTSC dvds play on my PAL dvd player? Also will they play on my computer, eg through VLC media player?
Q: Will most DVD players play both PAL and NTSC movies?
A: I live in the United States and I have a friend that has a movie in PAL and I'm just wondering if I have him bring it over here to watch if I'll be able to watch it on my DVD player?
Q: Should I burn in NTSC or PAL for my dvd player?
A: I am going to my parent's house soon and have a video I made and I don't know whether to burn it in NTSC or PAL. Which would be the safer bet? I know that I had burned one at another point and it didn't happen to work, but I can't remember what format that was.
PAL and NTSC are the two most common used standard broadcast formats. PAL stands for Phase Alternating Line. NTSC stands for National Television Standards Committee. PAL adopts a frame rate of 25 fps and 720x576 aspect ratio, and is widespread in most of Europe, Australia and large parts of Africa and Asia. For NTSC, a frame rate of 30 fps at an aspect ratio of 720x480, is used in North America, Japan and South Korea.
